Synergy To Do List
==================
Things to do to synergy, in no particular order:
* Provide GUI configuration
There's a GUI tool on win32 but no other platforms. It'd be nice
if the tool allowed users to drag screen icons around to set the
links between them, but this complicated because links aren't
necessarily symmetrical.
* Provide taskbar feedback
There's a tray icon on win32 for checking synergy's current status
and to quit synergy. It'd be nice to have something similar on
X11.
* Support non-ASCII keyboards
Synergy currently supports only ASCII characters typed on the
keyboard. It does, however, support Unicode clipboard text.
* Write man/html pages
* Port to other platforms
Most desired is MacOS X.
* Provide a nice win32 installer/uninstaller
Synergy doesn't have any special needs so even just unzipping is
satisfactory, but a proper installer would be nice. And, more
importantly, it should provide an uninstaller.
* Add more clipboard formats
Synergy currently supports only text on the clipboard. It should
support more formats, such as images and sound. For each format,
some canonical type must be chosen. For text, that's UTF-8 with
\n for newlines. For images, it might be BMP or PNG. Whatever it
is it should losslessly support any type it might be converted to.
The type is converted to each platform's native type. For example,
BMP for images on win32.
* Keyboard shortcuts to jump from screen to screen
Then there are major new features:
* Provide a KVM mode
In this mode synergy would share the monitor in addition to the
keyboard and mouse.
* Add encryption and authentication
Make synergy is safe to use on untrusted networks. Using synergy
through SSH can provide this until synergy has it built-in.
* Support for limited drag and drop between systems
* Support for (virtual) terminals on unix
This would be useful in KVM mode to administer several remote
headless systems that you don't want running X just so synergy
can work.
